The Lawrence Arms bassist and vocalist Brendan Kelly has posted an update on his blog about the new music that the band has been working on.


Kelly said that so far the band has recorded 5 demos worth of new material for a record, and that the songs are different to anything the band has done before.


"Look, I don't know. I don't know what this record is gonna be, but it definitely continues the Lawrence Arms tradition of being totally different than what we did before. It's not Oh! Calcutta! and it's not Buttsweat and Tears. In fact, we were talking about this last night and if you're the kind of dork that spends way too much time thinking on the Lawrence Arms catalog (and that's exactly the kind of dork I am) then this next bit may be interesting. If you're not, you may want to just skip it and get on with your life."

The band will be returning to Australia in February next year as a part of the Soundwave 2013 line up.
